Acupunture and Cupping at Back To Health Clinic, North Ryde

What is Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)?

Traditional Chinese Medicine is a holistic approach to health that has been practiced for thousands of years, comprising of various modalities mentioned below. Traditional Chinese Medicine is often used alongside modern healthcare, particularly for managing chronic conditions, stress, and pain. It may help support the body’s natural healing processes for a range of concerns, including muscular discomfort, respiratory well-being, digestive health, and more. Suitable for individuals of all ages, it aims to promote overall wellness and balance. The key components of TCM and the services offered at our clinic include;

·       Acupuncture involves the insertion of ultra-fine needles into specific points on the body, chosen based on a thorough consultation and diagnosis. The needles are typically left in place for 15-20 minutes. This practice is believed to stimulate the nervous system, enhance circulation, and promote the release of natural pain-relieving chemicals like endorphins, which may support the body’s natural healing processes and overall well-being

·       Herbal medicine utilizes natural herbs to support health and vitality, available in convenient pill form.

·       Cupping is a technique that uses heat to create a vacuum effect by placing cups on the skin. This suction may help enhance circulation, release muscle tension, and stimulate blood flow. Cupping is commonly used to assist with muscle tension and discomfort, inflammation, and stress.

·       Gua Sha involves gently scraping a smooth-edged tool across the skin to help promote circulation and release tension. With similar effects to cupping, it is commonly used to assist with muscle discomfort and may support respiratory health and skin health, especially when applied to the face.

·       Electro-acupuncture involves attaching a mild electrical current to acupuncture needles, enhancing the effects of traditional acupuncture. It is commonly used to assist with pain, muscle tension by stimulating nerve responses and encouraging the release of endorphins.

·       Tui Na is a massage therapy which is integrated into your treatment to help relieve muscle tension and promote relaxation. It can also assist in identifying areas of discomfort, all as part of your overall treatment, rather than as a separate service
